Director Statement

Snooker Man is my love letter to classic British TV comedy shows from the past 30 years.

I've always had at least 3 credits on every feature film I've worked on and feel I embody the spirit of independent filmmaking.

For better or worse, I will keep making movies with whatever resources are available to me!
